King Tides, the term is non-scientific and refers to when the moon, sun and Earth align at their closest points and the gravitational pull on the Earth is the greatest. This happens for three day periods during the months of November, December, and January. We finally had a break in the weather and went in January to shoot these big waves at high tide. This is at Shore Acres down by Coos Bay.

So, do we call a female King Parrot a Queen? I think we should. This beauty was lurking in the depths of my old computer which I managed to wake this morning from what has been a year long sleep. Had all sorts of dramas with it, but it seemed to wake up fine and I was able to salvage a thousand or so old images from it.
Taken near Apollo Bay in Victoria where they regularly visited the local houses and gardens. So wonderful to get close!
- or is it the Queen? I can never tell when I look at one without the other!
